So you WANT us to drag your work over here and point and laugh? Because the quote you're mangling is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

And you have followed that edict how often? I'm doing to her what she did to me. Your Bible also says "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."If she gets to drag my work over here just for purposes of humiliation, I should be able to do the same.

Uhh, Melissa? As a classmate of Mae's who sees her artwork/sketchbooks on a regular basis, I strongly recommend you stop barking up that tree. You're not going to do anything but embarrass yourself. Not only has she received over three years of art training at a very good program and is paid as caricature artist, she is pretty much constantly sketching, doodling, and improving upon her skills.

The drawing you linked to is from the first semester of freshman year of college. We are now seniors. I was even present at that particular life drawing, and it was long before we ever took a life drawing class. So not only are you trying to be bitchy about a drawing that is way out of your own range of skill, you picked a years-old drawing that was for the express purpose of practice and improvement.

Mae is far too humble about her formidable talent to tell you these things, but if you try to dig up old stuff that isn't even half bad in the first place in an attempt to embarrass her, you are doing nothing but making yourself look pathetic and like you're grasping at straws.

She pissed you off. Lovely. Feel free to try and lash back. But take this friendly bit of advice: do not make a pathetic attempt to draw parallels between Mae's early artwork and your own sadly labored-over My Little Pony fanart. If you do that? You will lose. Badly.

Those ponies were very old work too. I did them a long time ago. As for the voice acting, I just thought I'd try something different. I wasn't trying to do Marina Sirtis, I was doing my own take on the character as is done in an abridged series.I should've known better. Mae can fart and everyone applauds.

What I am trying to tell you is that if you choose to approach your WEVENGE!1!! by trying to make fun of her artwork, it isn't gonna work very well. We're all nerds, here. I'm sure that with enough digging you can uncover some hilariously embarrassing chapter in her internet history. Go for it. Knock yourself out. But right now it's as if someone who is really really good at singing told you that you suck at singing, and in order to try and exact revenge you simply parrot back that their singing is terrible, when it very obviously is not.

Melissa, if you don't mind some advice: you need to learn how to ignore people online. The internet is full of people that just go around trying to piss people off. A generally accepted tactic is to hunt down old, old, old projects of the herd-mentality-approved target and berate them for it, hoping for an overreaction that will give them more fodder to use in their anti-target campaign.

When you feel yourself getting ticked off, ask yourself these questions: does what X person say about me really matter in any way, shape or form? Why should I care what they have to say to/about me? It's an unfortunate fact of life that generally the instigator of flame wars isn't remembered for having done so: it's the overreaction of said target that is. Just let it go, seriously.

Last time I checked, wasn't this entire web site about berating works and their creators?

Actually, I was referring to the internet as a whole, not WGW in particular. If you want a more specific example of what I'm talking about, look at More Awesome Than You. Any sims players that have frequented that site at all will know exactly what I'm talking about.
